Customer Review: This movie got a bad rap when it first appeared. But it is in fact a delightfully witty satire on middle-Eastern foreign affairs bearing the irresistible comedic stamp of the incomparable Elaine May. Beatty ... Read More
Customer Review: I was just amazed and impressed with the director's attempt to convey the method of creation for a sculpture. I do not think he was successful other than letting me know it is extremely messy, models must always be freezing, ... Read More
Customer Review: I could honestly say that this is movie is the best movie I have ever seen, but that's been said already. What I would like to add is that it's not entirely about the divorce or political problems the directer was going through at the time, it is ... Read More
